EMBOSSING

Take pride in seeing your branding embossed or engraved into the chimes of our impeccably manufactured stainless-steel kegs. From standard characters to full logo design, embossing your logo will outstand your keg from the rest.

LABELS

With our long-lasting stickers, you have an easy branding option for your kegs which guarantees the possibility of rebranding in case you need it in the future. Our stickers are proved to work under heavy-duty environments (heat, sun, washing machines,…).

REBRANDING

To neutralize branded kegs, we can knurl out the existing top chime embossing and customize the stainless steel keg body with the new brand, applying different techniques including labels, silk screen printing, and more. Alternatively, we can replace the top chime with a new one.
